So basically the NAM be like...

I'm just sorry I wasn't old enough to remember it!

Huh...looking a bit more GFSy, eh? Hm

Been a strange day...Been warm yet the wind has remained cool! Even had to close my window briefly after waking up this morning

Lol Ya know I'd willing to concede 48 hours for the NAM...since the proverbial "wheelhouse" starts there--as it can occasionally pick up a trend the globals may be slower to recognize (but someone can correct me I'm wrong about that).

Uh...I'd bet my next paycheck that everybody DOESN'T do this, and instead consciously or subconsciously get excited over a Day 7 snowmap. That be the problem, imo. I wish snowmaps didn't exist beyond 48 hours...MAYBE 72 hours at the most.

Man don't even...why trolleth ye? We are NOT getting a third Nina in a row. I ain't even speakin' that into existence, lol

This winter needed a No Energy Left Behind act...

In other words...the seasonal progressive tendency lingers into March!

Fixed, lol This has been a weird "just miss Bmore and skunk n/nw" winter!

Man now you know that'd be slidin' off the coast right below us, lolol

Yeah but isn't the concern a bit premature given that this was the first winter in like 6 years with a favorable PAC? And aren't the real single-digit low cold shots only when the TPV gets displaced a certain way? In general, I do hope it's just too early to draw any conclusions. I mean...7 years ain't exactly a long time in the larger scale of things...is it? I mean...do we have other periods the last 4-5 decades to compare to? I'd like to see some temperature maps and such.

Oh yeah I didn't mean to imply that ninas can't have blocking (I know we had that last year...but the dang PAC, lol). I just meant that this was a typical nina AND we had no blocking. Now about the stj...Now when at the beginning of Jan we saw that it would be unusually present in this nina, I got a bit more enthused. But then we saw that even despite that after the first week we still couldn't time up waves, and the NS interfered with (i.e the storm with a perfect stj wave that got yanked inland) or squashed everything south or southeast! (Of course for your yard that worked out fine, haha) So still that typical Nina NS dominance was an issue. Now I'm wondering if we had had last year's blocking with this year's stj and cold...we would've seen a better result.

The no-blocking typical Nina wants to get in one more laugh...lol I mean that Screencast is the winter right thete! (Only fun part is that even I happened not to be wrong about this winter...albeit my reasoning was a bit too general. But this winter fit the "problem with ninas" to a T!)

Hey is your profile pic a real photo?

The garden thread called: It said it wants it's posts back

I mean...I don't know how other parts of the subforum fared, but that was a 2- footer here that caved in roofs (like the B & O). All heavy and wet! Imo no 2- footer should be underrated--given ya only see one every 6-7 years!

Feb 03' is underrated? Lol Why?

Man this has to be a Top 5 moment, lol

I still find some value in social media. I mean, firstly, as a musician, I almost have to stay connected in that capacity--both personally as a freelancer, and as a church music director. And that avenue has been even more important since the pandemic! You have all kinds of virtual events, and these days the fastest way to get the word out about what's going on at your church or wherever is through social media. So for me it's quote useful. YouTube as well! So I guess for us artsy types it's a bit different. But in general, it's all in how you use it. Facebook is more personal than Twitter (partly because you can control what friends see what, lol). There's nothing wrong with sharing joys and sorrows--because we all do better when we support each other. It's not always "for attention"...and in struggle, some people legit go through stuff and it sometimes it just comes out. But then, if you are careful about your friend list and who sees what...you'd be surprised at the prayers and support you get. On Twitter, I may comment but I never tweet myself...it's a little more wild, imo All that to say...I guess it all depends on the person using it!

Here's where I gotta be lame and have you explain the joke...lol

Archosaurs? Hadn't heard that term, lol

Ha...MLB and players were still at it until 2:30 am, lol Sounds like they got much closer but the coffee may have run out...

If winter is over, all I wanna read about is ENSO predictions, lol Mod El Niño please

Unfortunately...in today's climate, it doesn't seem possible to discuss something that a world leader does that's so obviously awful (a fact agreed on by most)...without someone throwing in said domestic political answer. This is a prime example...ain't no reason the discussion should have even gotten back there...yet here we are! So like the mod said, we just cant talk about it.
